Mistral OCR's Vik Paruchuri launches a new document-extraction benchmark

VikParuchuri · x · 2026-09-17

Vik Paruchuri (Marker/Surya, now behind Mistral OCR) and Paul Scemama have developed a new benchmark for document information extraction. All competing methods were run in the same recent 3-week window using the optimal settings available at the time, with the release delayed to tighten scoring and fairness.

They plan to share more in coming weeks about issues they see with how extraction is benchmarked, and will launch tools to help users evaluate results and build confidence, plus a way to visualize predictions and a leaderboard.
